This was the book that the movie JACKIE BROWN was based upon. I liked the movie better but only because it cut out some of the things in the book I didn't fill needed to be in there. They also expanded upon some things in the movie better. The book is a very easy read but unfortunately not very rich in details or story. JACKIE BROWN, with a runtime of 154 minutes is able to expand in some areas.
This is my first Elmore Leonard novel and I hear he has a fairly big following. I would definitely be interested in reading the prequel to this, THE SWITCH, as I hear they may make it into a movie as well. There are a few minor differences in the book as opposed to the movie.
